Hi Sinan

<b>MTS</b>

You should always use make-to-stock production if you produce stock independently of orders because you want to provide your customers immediately with goods from that stock later on. You might even want to produce goods without having sales orders, if you expect that there might be customer demand in the future. This means that make-to-stock strategies can support a very close customer-vendor relationship because your objective here is to provide your customers with goods from your stock as quickly as possible. Returns that have passed quality inspection and other unexpected goods receipts can be used for other sales orders.

<b>MTO</b>

Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.

You can use make-to-order production:

--> For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured

--> When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order

Thanks

Hi Sinan,

Make to stock:

without having any purchase orders from the customer, products/Materials will be manufactured and keep as stock in plants, warehouses, depots etc.,

when ever receives orders from the customers and will delivery the goods to customers.

Ex:- Hindustan Lever Limited - produces soaps, detergents,cosmatics etc.,

when ever the order comes from the customers they will delivery goods from the available stock.

Make to Order:

A1. In this scenario, only manufacture/produce goods after getting the Order from the customer. Will not keep the stock in the plant or warehouse.

Ex: - BHEL - Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited.

After getting the order from customer only they will produce the goods.

and very important point, In SAP while doing this in item category Special stock indicator - E should be maintained in make to order scenario, where has the special stock indicator is not required for Make to stock sales.

Make to stock:

A manufacturing method in which finished goods are produced and stocked prior to receipt of a customer order. It uses a forecast based on past demand history to initiate production of end items when inventory has fallen below desired levels, instead of waiting until a final quantity and configuration is described on a customer order. It can be also defined in the following way A production environment where end item products are usually finished before receipt of a customer order. Customer orders are generally filled from finished goods inventories, and production orders are used to replenish finished goods inventories Manufacturing Engineering - The engineering discipline with responsibility for designing, maintaining, and improving the manufacturing production process.

Make to Order:

A production environment where a product or service can be made after receipt of a customer's order. The end item finished product is generally a combination of standard components and custom designed components that meet the unique needs of a specific customer. Where options or accessories are pre-stocked prior to customer orders, the term assemble-to-order is frequently used. Also known as assemble to order.

Make to order production means that the materials (finished products) are not stored in the warehouse but produced especially for a particular sales order or a sales order item. An individual customer requirement is generated from the sales order item and transferred to materials planning (MM/PP). You can use materials planning to plan requirements. Once this has been done, production is carried out. After the product has been manufactured, you post it by goods receipt to sales orders stock specifically for this sales order item. As soon as the delivery is due, you can enter the delivery in SD and post goods issue which reduces the sales order stock and then a billing document can be entered.

2. The item category in the sales document is found using the sale document type and the item category group from the material master found on the tab page sales org 2 i.e.

a. sales document type – OR

b. item category group – 0001

c. item category - TAK

3. MTO without assembly processing – the requirement quantity (planned independent requirements), delivery date and configuration specifications are transferred from the sales order to materials planning as an individual customer requirement. A planned order is generated using a planning run where the bills of material are exploded and dependant requirements (i.e. multi-level BOM) for the assemblies and components are generated. As soon as the production starts, a production order is created from the planned order. The system returns the confirmed quantity and delivery date from the production order to the sales order.

4. MTO with assembly processing – in this case the individual components for the final product have already been produced. You only need to assemble the components according to the customer’s wishes. In this process, you only need a one level BOM and generation of dependent requirements is not necessary. In this case no planning run is generated and a production order is created directly from the sales order. The system returns the confirmed quantity and the delivery date from the production order to the schedule lines in the sales order. Any changes made to the confirmed schedule lines or the delivery date is immediately visible in the sales order and/or in the production order.

5. After production department has finished making the material, goods receipt is posted in the sales order stock i.e. special stock which can only be used for a specific sales order. After posting goods issue for outbound delivery, the sales order stock is reduced accordingly.

6. Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.

7. You can use make-to-order production: (a) For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured (b) When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order.

8. Stock keeping is not usually carried out for products that are made to order. In companies using make-to-order production, the demand program only determines the production area, in which various variant types are produced. Depending on how you track the costs associated with make-to-order production, there are two ways to process make-to-order items during sales order processing.

(a) Make to order using sales order

(b) Make to order using project system (not relevant for SD application)

9. for make to order production using the sales order, all costs and revenues involved for an order item are held collectively at that item. A particular rule is used that can be changed manually to transfer costs to profitability analysis.

10. make to order production is largely a production planning configuration. It is also controlled by the requirements type, which is determined by three things

the strategy group (MRP 3) in MMR

the MRP group (MRP1) in MMR

the item category and MRP type (MRP 1)

11. Make-to-order production is controlled by the requirements type. The requirements type is determined on the basis of the MRP group (MRP1) and the strategy group (MRP3) in the material master record. In addition, a plant must be assigned for make-to-order items in the sales order.

MTO Planning strategies are specific to sales orders

costa need to be tracked at sales order level

No specific product structure ie item may or may not have Bom

Settings for finished product

1. strategy group 20

2. schedule line category cp ,item categiry TAN, item category group NORM

3. Requirements type KE

4. No PIR Creation

5. So procurement before sales order is not possible

6. sales orders are created for finished product

7. Run the MRP - MD02

8. Planned orders will be created.

9. convert it to production orders /confirm /GR is made

10 stock will be placed in customer stock.

Make-to-order processing takes place when inventory is not generally stoked but instead the firm wants until an order has been placed and then produces just what has been ordered.

Ex: In this case, a deluxe motorcycle gas tank that must be produced form an unpainted tank, paint and gas cap. These are two processes that must be completed in the production -


paint the tank and when tank is dry, attach the gas cap.

The BOM are needed to create a given product. The routing information gives what processes need to be carried out in what order and even how long each process should take. All this information together can be used to determine what the total cost of the product and determining the profitability of the product.

A—Creation of materials:---

T code: MM01

Ex; 1400-7—1xx

Enter material, ind. Sector and material type.

Select the org. levels plant, stor. Location, sales org, DC, Warehoused no, storage type.

Repeat the same process for all components.

B—Creation of BOM:--

T code: CS01

C—Set up routing:--

T code: CA02

D—pricing conditions:--

T code: VK11

E—purchasing materials:--

Create a purchasing order req. for components from vendor.

Create PO: ME21

F—Receiving materials:--

GR:- MIGO

Go through MMBE then u will get stock available or not.

Process:

1. creating a sales order for product not kept in the inventory. This will atomically generated the relevant production order.

2. We assume production is done ahead of \schedule. After production is completed you will confirm production order as fully completed.

3. Newly determine the availability of sales order.

4. shipment

5. TO for delivery

6. Billing

7. Payments

Q. I want to know that when we are going to make the MTO or MTS scenario so at the moment we save the order the purchase requisition is going to made in schedule line or the production order? In order to make MTO or MTS what relevant setting do we have to look at?

There are extensive options that enable you to procure components especially for specific sales order items.

You may, however, want to use a different planning strategy to procure components without sales orders. This allows you to keep your replenishment lead time to a minimum. You can do this by:

Planning on the basis of the finished product (see Planning Without Final Assembly (50) or Planning with a Planning Material (60))

Planning at component level (see Strategies for Planning Components)

Using consumption-based or Kanban-controlled components

Customer stock can exist on any BOM level. See Stockkeeping at Different BOM Levels for more information.

Because production is closely linked to sales orders, this results in a customer section in the stock/requirements list.

Unplanned goods receipts (such as returns) cannot, as a rule, be used for other sales orders, even if they are in working order, unless they are adapted to meet a customer's needs.

In the basic make-to-order strategy, Make-to-Order Production (20), no specific product structures are required. This means that it does not matter if the material has a BOM or not. The material can be produced in-house, or it can be procured externally. No planning is involved in this strategy.

Planning Without Final Assembly (50) and Planning with a Planning Material (60) do require a specific product structure (i.e. a BOM, which means materials are always produced in-house). These planning strategies assume that you want to plan procurement (production or purchasing) of your components by planning the finished products. This means that you need to have a fairly stable demand for your finished products. If, however, you can plan more easily at component level than at finished product level, see Strategies for Planning Components.

The planning strategies explained in this section are designed for the production of a material for a specific individual sales order. In other words, you do not want to produce finished products until you receive a sales order. This means that make-to-order strategies always support a very close customer-vendor relationship, because your sales orders are closely linked to production.

The same relationship exists between the sales order and production that exists in a make-to-order environment. Make-to-order is also used in the following environments.

Production using variant configuration

Assemble-to-order

Prerequisites

Choose a make-to-order strategy, if:

The materials are segregated. In other words, they are uniquely assigned to specific sales orders.

Costs must be tracked at sales order level and not on material level.

Make-to-order strategies should always be combined with lot-size key EX (lot-for-lot. Rounding values should not be used. If you maintain rounding values, they have no effect due to the make-to-order properties of these strategies.
